Quote ="leeds owl"I take it you were one of the no shows for Huddersfield last night. If you had been there, you would see how our fans are reacting. We took more supporters last night even after last week's defeat, while you had less fans in the ground than us. If I were you I wouldn't worry too much about what Leeds are doing. Worrying times off the field for you lot, and if I'm honest, really really sad for a fella like Ken Davy who deserves so much more.'"
Home and away, every week. Rarely miss a game.
Yes I did see how some of your fans reacted - especially when some started leaving about 10 minutes before the final whistle!
You're right regarding the crowd numbers and credit where it's due, Leeds have always had a noisy enthusiastic following particularly while enjoying a run of successful seasons as you have experienced. For the record, I was a season ticket holder myself at Leeds for about 15 years + starting from the 80's (South Stand 3!) and remember being the perennial underdogs and 2nd best, always in the shadow of Wigan & Bradford until the team's fortunes really started to change back in '99 and the Challenge Cup win against London. I can't be accused of being a glory hunter having changed my allegiance to Huddersfield following years of disappointment with Leeds & then enduring even more with the Giants! My comments were mainly aimed at the relatively new fans supporting your team who have only known success and expect it every year.
Your comments regarding Ken Davy and the lack of interest are also correct and I can't understand why there's such a poor turnout every week. Other posters have covered this on other threads. Maybe a decent season saving cup run might help!!
On a more positive note, both Leeds and Huddersfield have still plenty to play for in the league - I hate to say it but Leeds in particular have shown in the past that it's not over until the fat lady sings!
